Dave B and his team wrapping up the fall measurements in Springfield MA, our northern most city of the climate adapted oak study. Baltimore, Philly and New Haven are done. @usfs_nrs @MaxRPiana @tletrammell

Check out our new paper about how forests in cities can benefit from the expertise of both foresters and landscape architects. Olmsted and Pinchot set the example over 100 years ago! @usfs_nrs @MaxRPiana tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

How should we best protect natural #forests in cities? Hear from Rich Hallett (@usfs_nrs), Clara Pregitzer (@NaturalAreasNYC), Amy Witt (@ForestPark4Ever), and Kelli Ondracek (@HoustonTX) at the Hixon Conference on #UbranForests on Sept 15. Register: hixon.yale.edu/events/confere…

Urban silviculture trainees in Baltimore meet Anne Hairston-Strang (MD State Forester) and Terry Baker (CEO SAF). Talking career paths here at Stillmeadow Peace Park. @usfs_nrs @MaxRPiana

My thought on the state of commercial remote sensing after 72 hours of disaster support to #VTflood23 - We have a very long way to go before commercial satellites have the tasking, collection, and dissemination capabilities of the "I have a drone" person you met on Twitter.

First cohort of trainees in our new #urbansilviculture program. Taking place this summer here at Stillmeadow Peace Park in Baltimore. @usfs_nrs @MaxRPiana @tletrammell

And here’s a chestnut oak from Kentucky that’s currently residing in Philadelphia. It’s outcompeting the spice bush for now. All part of the same multi-city study. @usfs_nrs @tletrammell

First field day for our street tree crew. Assessing tree health here in NYC. Plots measured for the first time in 2015. Remeasuring will give us our first look at change over time for thousands of NYC street trees. @usfs_nrs @HealthyTreesHC

@Treeaction @MaxRPiana @tletrammell Of course! Without deer exclusion it turns into a deer cafeteria study!

@MaxRPiana @tletrammell @working_trees Deer exclusion?

Parkwood afforestation study. NE Philly. Planted a year ago, just before major drought. Checking survival and some of our hybrid poplars made it through. Currently doing battle with invasive plants. Who will prevail? @MaxRPiana @usfs_nrs Funded by @WilliamPennFdn

This resulted in our multi city study focused on creating climate resilient oak forests. We just finished planting, mapping and measuring 8000 oak trees. This is what can happen when you bring together scientists and practitioners. #Urban_Silviculture

Alex Sherman, Springfield City forester planting the last white oak tree in the Springfield oak orchard. Ending an 8000 tree odyssey which started in Baltimore just over a month ago. @usfs_nrs @MaxRPiana #urbansilviculture

Just finished planting, mapping, measuring the last few trees at the new Lasdon Arb oak orchard. In collaboration with Tara Trammell U_Delaware, @MaxRPiana and Laura DeWald U of KY. Over 1000 oak trees from 6 seed zones. Working to create climate resilient oak forests. @usfs_nrs

Did you know oak trees can live 400 years? Learn more about oaks at #Lasdon Park & Arboretum's TreeFest from 10-Noon on #EarthDay2023 tomorrow. Tree experts @WIlliamBryantLo and @working_trees will be on hand for questions. Register here: lasdonpark.org/event/treefest/

6000 trees, 4 cities, 1 month. @MaxRPiana applying deer repellent to oak seedlings on one our #urbansilviculrure study plots. Creating climate resilient oak forests in cities. @usfs_nrs
